Subject: Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 61 by Beethoven
This is a good performance. The Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 61 has a mood that goes from intensely dramatic to tranquil. Its not bad to listen to but the recording quality is less than most people expect from modern recoding technology. I give this four stars. You could play this while drinking some afternoon tea or something.

Subject: marvellous performance
This is such a lovely recording, and a very sympathetic transfer too. There are details in the orchestration I'd not really been aware of before, and this in a 1940 recording: great! Heifetz and Toscanini, a dream coupling in this concerto!

Subject: Magical music moments.
This is truly a magical recording. It should be regarded as the highlight of performance of this musical monument Beethoven gave us. Enjoy the violin - still, after all these years, this is at the highest possible level!
